Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal

This is a high-risk deal for the Orlando Magic too. We’re fully expecting to hear from disgruntled fans of the team. 

Realistically, this might boil down to the team’s confidence level in recent number one overall pick Paolo Banchero. If the organization is certain that he can lead a contender, this rebuild might be over. 

Let’s assume Banchero hits his ceiling. Donovan Mitchell is only 25. A core group of Mitchell, Banchero, Franz Wagner and Cole Anthony could be playing for the NBA championship in a few short years. 

Once again, rebuilding is not an exact science. There are difficult decisions to be made. Either team could pull the trigger on this deal and live to regret it.
